The brillant legal mind
I was afraid that when we contacted an attorney he was going to browbeat us but Mr. Trent was really broad-minded when it came to my case. My new motto is No. 1 - never get in trouble again but if I do, contact Mr. Trent. I am proud to say Mr. Trent got the case against me dismissed and I very th...

Hire this man and then put your feet up, miracle worker!
As soon as I signed the contract with this man, he went to bat for me in a big way. He kept me informed, (was in contact multiple times a day) knowledgeable in the extreme, he literally authored the book the police use for guidelines for the crime I was accused! On top of that, another facet I didn't...

Mike Trent
Mr Trent handled a DUI case for me, along with a couple of minor other minor non-criminal matters. I was always kept informed of the status of the case, questions were answered promptly via e mail(usually the same day), and Mike always showed up for the court dates. Fees were reasonable. He probabl...

Great Criminal Defense Lawyer
Mr. Trent was very knowlegable, he represented me in a criminal case and the outcome was outstanding. He also represented me with the grand jury. Mr. Trent completely cleared my criminal record. I have also recommended him to others with favorable outcomes.
"I worked as opposing counsel with Mike on several cases when I was a prosecutor. He is a very good attorney, with a deep understand of the law and who fights very hard for his clients. I highly recommend him!"
"When I first met Michael Trent, I was representing a man charged with murder. Michael represented the co-defendant who allegedly connected with the crime. Both me of us ran into a slew of government corruption in the murder case and we fought against it. Mike fights hard and it was a pleasure working with him. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a criminal defense attorney."
"Mike Trent is an outstanding lawyer. He is blessed with a razor-sharp intellect and an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law. He is also one of the most relentless trial lawyers that I know. I could go on and on about Mike's legal talent and how he is always available to help his colleagues solve challenging legal problems. But what impresses me most about Mike, is his ethics and professionalism when dealing with clients, other lawyers and judges. His word is as good as gold. If I or a family member were ever in serious trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Mike. Nearly every criminal lawyer I know in the Greater Houston area shares this opinion."
"I knew Mike back when I was a prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney's Office. I knew him to be a formidable opponent then, and when I first joined the defense bar, he never hesitated to share the benefit of his knowledge and experience on advanced and difficult issues in criminal law. Mike's reputation for excellence precedes him both in trial and in pre-trial case resolution. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed."
"I endorse Mike because he is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable attorneys in the Courthouse. There are very aspects of criminal law that Mike hasn't dealt with. His reputation in the legal community is outstanding and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Mike should I need help with an issue."
"I have known Mike Trent for over a decade. Mike is an effective advocate and is always prepared. Not only is Mike Trent knowledgeable and up to speed on the law, he possesses trial skills that are unmatched. Mike Trent is also an amicable lawyer, whose personality wins over Judges, Prosecutors, and Juries. Mike was a formidable prosecutor, but I truly believe he has found his calling as a criminal defense attorney. Simply put, Mike Trent is a lawyer's lawyer and I wholeheartedly endorse Mike Trent for criminal defense."
"Mike Trent was my Chief at the District Attorney's Office. In addition to being a great teacher who is knowledgable on all aspects of criminal law, he is one of the best trial lawyers I've ever watched in trial. He is passionate about his defense of his clients and works around the clock to prepare for trial. I highly recommend him if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law."
"Mike is an experienced and dedicated attorney with a no-nonsense approach that gets results. He is well respected among his peers for his knowledge of the law, as well as his effective courtroom style. Mike is a zealous and tireless advocate for his clients. Hire him, and you can rest assured you are in good hands."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike and I worked at the DA's office together. He is an awesome attorney and very well respected. Combined with his knowledge of the law and you have a great defense."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike was a strong prosecutor for years and has proven to be a strong defense lawyer as well. He has a comprehensive knowledge of criminal law and works hard to fight for his clients."
